Pastor’s wives have the unique privilege and responsibility of raising up leaders. Women will be drawn to you because of your position. How are you mentoring them? How are you developing them? My greatest joy as a leader doesn’t come from the things I’ve accomplished, but rather from the accomplishments of the women I am leading. It’s like being a mother and the joy we feel when our children do well. Please carefully ask yourself the following questions. I believe you’ll find insight and direction in your answers.
 
 
 * What is primarily on your mind when you go to worship; the ministry or service you will perform that day or seeing who is impacted by what you do?
* When you see a new person at church, do you think of her as a new member or a potential servant? Do you even notice new members?
* When you get up in the morning, do you reach first for your “to do” list or a “to be” list?

· When you get up in the morning, do you think about what you must do or who you will mentor?

* When you pray, do you pray for God to send more servants your way?
* How do you think of yourself – a leader or an equipper?
* The big question: “How much time do I spend mentoring future leaders and holding our present leaders accountable?”
* How do you identify potential servants for your ministry, leaders, and potential replacements?
* In an average month, how many people do you invite to be a part of your ministry and/or leadership team? How do you invite them?
* How do you release people to serve or be served? On average, how many people a year do you release?

* Usually ten people is the maximum number for coaching at one time. This doesn’t mean you don’t have responsibility for more than ten people. This simply means that you are personally pouring yourself into 10 people. Are you? If not, when and how will you start?
